The story

Master Basilius has made the Philosopher's Stone, and tonight his Order gathers to wake it. Your team slips into his house an hour early: through the library, the laboratory and a hidden passage to the chamber where the Order meets. Nine symbols open the door.

Spring, 1720. Your company is the fellowship that keeps the Stone out of the Order’s hands. The house is full of ciphers, scales, old maps and engravings, and the clues are spread over every room, so the team works best when it splits up and keeps talking.

This is the 3D story game: players walk through the house together as avatars and work the puzzles with their own hands. It is built on the same story as our classic The Alchemist 360, which is filmed in a real escape room.

The team moves through the Master’s Library, the Laboratory, a hidden passage and the Chamber of the Order.

What teams do

No one can finish it alone: the puzzles are spread around and many need two or more players at once.

Weigh and call across rooms

One player weighs vials on the brass balance in the laboratory and calls the results to a teammate at the trunk lock in the library.

Light the hidden marks

Sweep the walls with a special lantern that shows marks nobody else can see.

Nine symbols, three hands

Clues all over the house give the team nine symbols. At the door one player turns the dial, one calls the symbols and one presses the letters.

Paintings and ingots

Rearrange the paintings and carry the metal ingots to the altar.

Bend the light

At the end, turn the mirrors until a beam of light reaches its target.

How the branding works

Give us your company’s website. We take your logo, colors and name and build them into the game: your company is the fellowship that stops the Order, with your brand in the world and your name in the story. Your brand is always on the heroes’ side, never the villain’s.

For a booked game we check every detail with you before the event. Want to see it first? The free branded demo is ready in about a minute.

Questions about The Alchemist

How many people can play The Alchemist?

4–6 players per team is ideal: everyone has a puzzle in hand. One game takes up to 10. Bigger groups split into teams that play at the same time, each in its own game, as many teams as you like.

How long does The Alchemist take?

The game is 45 minutes (a 60-minute version on request). Online booking is the 45-minute version; the 60-minute version is on request: ask us. Add a few minutes for everyone to join; with Guided, our game master adds a short briefing before and a debrief with the rankings after.

Does it work for remote and hybrid teams?

Yes. Every player opens a link in the browser on a laptop or a phone: nothing to install, no sign-up. Use the built-in voice and video, or your Zoom, Teams or Meet breakout rooms. People in the office and at home play in the same game, each on their own device.

Give us your company’s website: your logo, colors and name go into the game, and your company is the fellowship that stops the Order. Your brand is always on the heroes’ side, never the villain’s. You can see it first in a free branded demo, ready in about a minute. Try it free in your brand

How is it different from The Alchemist 360?

The Alchemist 360 is our classic 360° escape room: filmed in a real escape room and played over your video call. The Alchemist is the 3D story game: your team walks through the world together as avatars, works the puzzles by hand, and plays it in your company’s brand. About The Alchemist 360
